TOASTY--As this week begins, it's feeling pretty toasty around our area with temps in the 80's, so those who had weekend plans wound up with plenty of sunshine.

CHANGING--As Labor Day week began, we had a super nice day on Sunday, if you like it hot and sticky. There was a lot of sunshine, which made it a bit warm for me, but it was great for all those who had gone camping and enjoying the outdoors and of course, the BBQ folks were not threatened by any rain. On Monday however, we began with clouds and light sprinkles in West Valley, so a big difference between the two days, although it did wind up clearing up and wasn't too bad by Monday afternoon. If you were up late Monday night or early Tuesday...
